islandshore | 35 - video/action for Goldenrod;

[The feed begins with a shot of Goldenrod and some... posters. There are posters all over the place, by the looks of it, all advertising a "Celadon Training Center," opening soon. Riku turns the camera on himself and smirks. It's worth noting that he still has sharp teeth and little stubs of horns from the Outbreak. Rockets may also recognize him as the 'silver haired boy' on Cobra's list.]

So, Gyms are nice and all, but they'll only get you so far. And battling Pokémon in the wild is slow, tedious, and unpredictable. Relying on the trainers along the routes will make you want to tear your hair out after a while, especially since they never get any stronger in the first place.

No, if you're serious about training, there haven't been any solid options... until now.

[He gestures to one of the posters.]

Good news is, I'm opening up a Training Center in Celadon. It's been in the works for a few months now, but I plan to open the doors within the next week or two. But before I do, I'm gonna need some help. Can't run a business on my own, after all. So, what do I need?

Mainly staff who are willing to help with publicity, Pokémon handling, customer service, money management, and battles. But not only that... I'm going to need suggestions on what kind of features to add to make sure people keep coming back. Right now, I've got some training areas set up, a pretty huge selection of level 100's who can work your Pokémon into shape, and a rental service for trainers on the go. If you want more details, I'll be attaching a link at the end of this feed along with a link to my Training for Dummies guide.

[He leans back against a building, placing a hand on his hip.]

Anyway, for you guys living in Goldenrod, what's your favorite thing to do here? Haven't been in town for a while, but I'll be going back and forth between here and Celadon. Might as well make the most of it.

[As soon as he's done with his message, Riku can be found throughout the town with his team, currently consisting of a very large Charizard, a Lucario, a Scizor, a Dragonite, a Blastoise, and an Axew. They all seem to be setting up more posters advertising Riku's business. Feel free to hassle him if you'd like!]

I've got some Pokémon to give me a list. Might as well scope out some of the taller buildings.

[Not that he hasn't before, but, hey, that doesn't make the view any worse than before.]

Can't say I've spent much time at the arcade, though. Maybe that's worth checking out.

I guess it gets old if you've played all the games, but I'm not in Goldenrod too often, so they usually have something new in there every time I stop by.

Well, I haven't been here in a few months, so there has to be something new.

Probably.

Last time I went, they'd just gotten in some big Safari Zone game that was pretty epic.

Safari Zone game? Huh, I'll have to give it a whirl when I get there.

Any other games I should keep an eye out for?

Well, the one where you play as an Aerodactyl and you fly around eating people is always a hoot...

[Riku shudders.]

Man. Just be glad you don't have an actual Aerodactyl that tries eating people.

Oh, believe me, I'm glad I don't have any Pokemon that try to eat people.

_{[... Bite, sure. Eat? ... Fortunately, no.]}

Aerodactyls are definitely a handful, but I think I wound up with the unholy demon spawn of one. She's rotten to the core.

[He shudders.]

Yeah, probably.

A friend of mine had one once and that one was fine. ... A little rambunctious, but.

Wonder what the difference is. Terror acts completely like a prehistoric animal to a point where I doubt she even understands speech, period.

Maybe the ones everyone else has are more domesticated.

Maybe.

Where'd you even get her?

Her egg just... popped up one day. Think it was one of the first Aerodactyl eggs around.

... Well, you realize there's only one answer to that mystery, right?

Oh yeah? And what might that be?

Time-traveling Easter Bunny.
